Mecha Ritz is a manic shooter where playing perfectly boosts rank, and bullet speed and your score along with it, to absurd levels. Clearing is not too difficult due to the large amount of resources the game gives you, but scoring well rewards players with an intense roller coaster ride like no other.

Scoring basics( since there's no GD or ST):
Spoiler
Rank is lowered by taking a hit or bombing. Using a bomb reduces it only slightly, getting hit while you still have a shield reduces it slightly more, and losing a life reduces it significantly.
In addition, speed killing enemy waves results in extra enemy waves, which are worth more score as well.
Lastly, speed kill mini bosses and bosses for a time bonus. This is also nessecary to reaching the end of the game before the "Time" limit on the hud reaches zero, which will lock off access to the TLB.
There are probably more secrets to this game's scoring, but due to its relative obscurity, not a lot of information is available to us at the moment. Please share anything you might know.
Spoiler
Starting rank and additional ships are unlocked by play time...I think.
